Gonna b in Kona for the weekend!  Any gun shops I can check out?  Kind of off the subject but any recommended hole in the wall eats/beaches/historic places to see?  Lmk!

There is a list of the local gun shops here: http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=5.0

None of them are too exciting... It is not like walking into cabelas or something... Unless you are buying a gun they dont have much else.

Food.. If you like sushi check out "hayashi's you make the roll" this place is def a hole in the wall..., thai food I like "orchid thai cuisine". they're closed on sundays also, not a hole in the wall... but the kona brewpub is always pretty good. Also "quinns-almost by the sea" is good for the fresh ono fish and chips. best beaches...well the beach at mauna kea resort if pretty nice if it is not windy which is 50% of the time. Get there before 9 because they have limited parking and wont let you in if it is full. Makalawena is an even nicer beach but harder to get to. You either 4wd in down an unmarked road...not too terrible hard of a road if you have some experience. saw some people tearing up their ford pickup last weekend from high centering it on some rocks which was somewhat entertaining.  OR you can go to the kekaha kai state park and park, then walk like a mile or so  north through the lava field to get there.

There is a place on ali'i drive called scandinavian shave ice that is not bad. Also since you're all the way out at waikoloa you might want to check out a place in kawaihae called "the blue dragon" it is a resturant/live music sort of outdoor place.. Been a couple years since I was there but it was a nice evening with live music and good food.

In kona there's kona guns and ammo over by target and sports authority on the other side of target and blue water hunter over by Costco. Be aware though that the Kmart and Walmart in kona are the only ones that don't sell ammo

Forgot to mention c&s outfitters in waimea. They don't have much mostly archery but the guy will show you a few guns if you ask
